I think the general answer is: 1. Never use i915 or xe core workqueues in display code. 2. Use system workqueues where appropriate for display, and cancel the individual work where needed. While there are legitimate uses for the dedicated workqueues, I'm guessing a large portion of their use may be cargo-culting and/or the result of system wq flush going away, and not based on any real analysis. 3. For display stuff, add the minimal necessary workqueues in display code, and use them where appropriate. Also cancel the individual work where needed, and flush the entire workqueue only when really necessary. The entire workqueue flushing is also cargo-culting and/or the result of system wq flush going away. 4. Finally move the display wq init/cleanup to display code. Now, I don't know what the answer in this particular case, or many of the other cases, is. And that's probably one of the reasons we have the status quo. :( BR, Jani. -- Jani Nikula, Intel
